The rapid growth of the populous Asian economies provokes profound economic changes and a shift in the balance of power. On the economic front, Asian leaders are confronted with the need to preserve the stability that has underpinned their prosperity, maintain an environment conducive to trade and investments and encourage domestic consumption while avoiding ecological disasters. Internationally, business competition will intensify with the strong presence of Asian manufacturers in global supply chains, growing price competition from Asian firms in domestic markets and global competition for energy, food, minerals and other commodities. Geopolitical concerns stem, in part, from Asia’s global quest for critical resources, conflicting territorial and maritime disputes and increasing military expenditures which affect security dynamics. China’s assertiveness over its periphery prompts an arm’s race in the region and concerns about Sino-American relations even though U.S.-Chinese relations may be less risky than China’s relations with its neighbours. The United States remains a key player in the Asia-Pacific region, with the capacity to alter balances and affect outcomes. Globally, the United States capacity to lead is now diminished and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Since no rising power is capable of exercising global leadership, a return to the "old normal" where no one power in geopolitical or economic terms dominates the world is to be expected.

We have studied sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the Indian and Pacific Oceans (domain 25 °S to 25°N and 40 °E to 160 °W) during the three seasons following the Indian summer monsoon for wet monsoons and also for dry monsoons accompanied or not by El Ni˜no. A dry monsoon is followed by positive SST anomalies in the longitude belt 40 to 120 °E, negative anomalies in 120 to 160 °E and again positive anomalies east of 160 °E. In dry monsoons accompanied by El Ni˜no the anomalies have the same sign, but are much stronger. Wet monsoons have weak anomalies of opposite sign in all three of the longitude belts. Thus El Ni˜no and a dry monsoon have the same types of association with the Indian and Pacific Ocean SSTs. In the sector 40 to 120 °E SST anomalies first appear over the western part of the Indian Ocean (June to September) followed by the same sign of anomalies over its eastern part and China Sea (October to March). By March after a dry monsoon or El Ni˜no the Indian Ocean between 10 °N and 10 °S has a spatially large warm SST anomaly. Anomalies in deep convection tend to follow the SST anomalies, with warm SST anomalies producing positive convection anomalies around the seasonal location of the intertropical convergence zone

• Premise of the study: Microsatellite markers were developed in Fosterella christophii (Bromeliaceae) to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure within the F. micrantha group, comprising F. christophii, F. micrantha, and F. villosula. • Methods and Results: Full-length cDNAs were isolated from F. christophii and sequenced on a Pacific Biosciences RS platform. A total of 1590 high-quality consensus isoforms were assembled into 971 unigenes containing 421 perfect microsatellites. Thirty primer sets were designed, of which 13 revealed a high level of polymorphism in three populations of F. christophii, with four to nine alleles per locus. Each of these 13 loci cross-amplified in the closely related species F. micrantha and F. villosula, with one to six and one to 11 alleles per locus, respectively. • Conclusions: The new markers are promising tools to study the population genetics of F. christophii and to discover species boundaries within the F. micrantha group.

Se espera que la producción de petróleo en Colombia supere para 2015 el millón de barriles por día. Sin embargo, a 2012, tres años antes de lo esperado, nos acercamos a la meta produciendo cerca de 900kbpd. Este progresivo crecimiento indica que es urgente fortalecer la infraestructura de transporte para crudo en el país, apoyándose en alternativas secundarias como el transporte de crudo por carrotanque para alivianar el sistema, siendo esta modalidad una “válvula de escape” para las petroleras. Consientes de los retos que esto implica, es necesario encontrar una estructura de costos óptima que permita fijar fletes razonables y competitivos en el mercado de transporte de crudo, sabiendo que un flete de estas características f ideliza y alinea a los proveedores (en este caso las empresas transportadoras prestadoras del servicio), a buscar el mismo objetivo: crecimiento. De esta forma Pacific Rubiales, la segunda petrolera con mayor presencia en el país podrá abrazar su operación, estableciendo no solo una sólida estrategia de evacuación del crudo por los oleoductos, sino a su vez un sistema efectivo de transporte por tierra, donde todos los involucrados en la cadena de valor se encuentren altamente fidelizados y satisfechos con las condiciones de operación que brinde la empresa; Traduciéndolo en pocas palabras, a un esquema con una operación segura, confiable, rentable y donde todos ganan. Es importante resaltar que la estructura actual para la definición de fletes, planteada por el gobierno a través del Software Sice, no se ajusta a la operación de petroleras como Pacific Rubiales, debido a las mismas características de la operación (ubicación de campos) y, a variables fijas en el sistema de información como: el real consumo y rendimiento del combustible en las rutas establecidas y, los costos de mantenimiento.

Due to the rapid and effective success of countries in the Pacific Rim for the last two decades, current world trade attention has been focussed on what appears to be the common vision of the ‘Pacific Century’. Reducing attention from the Atlantic and focusing it on the Pacific represents a new challenge for countries touching this ocean. The main Latin American economies bordering the pacific have taken upon this challenge with the creation of the Pacific Alliance in 2011. In this way, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru intend to penetrate and increase trade with the region by forming a coalition. The Pacific Alliance has attracted international attention, interest and support from nations around the world, counting 32 countries as observers; 7 are actually located in the region and six of them rank amongst the Top 15 world economies. As is expected, the possibility of closer trade engagement with big players such as China, India, Japan, South Korea or Australia absorb the main attention of media, governments and academics alike, leaving behind other feasible and possible opportunities unattended. That is precisely the case of New Zealand and its favourable commerce opportunities with the Pacific Alliance. The following document will study the major trends and variations in trade between New Zealand, the Pacific Alliance and its members between 2010 and 2014. Proving that mutual trade is most likely to keep on growing.
